A one-of-a-kind collection including some never-before-seen photographs of the wild and unforgettable WHA from legendary sports photographer Steve Babineau On October 12, 1972, legendary Boston sports photographer, Steve Babineau, was in attendance for the debut of the New England Whalers. They were taking on the Philadelphia Blazers at the old Boston Garden — and Babs was shooting the action. Fifty years later, he’s still photographing big-league sports events — but this lovingly curated collection documents both his earliest published (and unseen) works and the wild emergence of the colorful, revolutionary, wild, and unforgettable WHA. In an era when rolls of film still had to be changed by hand and cameras were focused manually, when arena lighting was questionable and images had to be captured through the haze produced by smoking fans, Babineau captured it all: the timeless legends who were finally getting paid, the journeymen who finally got a shot at the pros, the 17-year-old who would go on to rewrite record books, the brawls and goals, the glorious ’staches and flows, the highs and the lows … Behind the Lens: The World Hockey Association 50 Years Later has the Golden Jet and the Howes, the teams that seemed to change names and cities as often as some players changed wooden sticks, and even the true origin story of that Wayne Gretzky photo that’s become the million-dollar holy grail for sports card collectors.Voir livre
TAXI DRIVER THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Taxi Driver (1976), directed by Martin Scorsese, follows Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), a mentally troubled Vietnam War veteran who becomes a night-shift taxi driver in a decaying, crime-ridden New York City. Struggling with chronic insomnia and loneliness, Travis’s disillusionment with society grows as he witnesses the city's corruption and moral decay. Obsessed with saving a young prostitute, Iris (Jodie Foster), and seeking a sense of purpose, Travis begins to spiral into violent thoughts. The film explores themes of isolation, existentialism, and the psychological consequences of trauma, set against the gritty backdrop of 1970s urban America. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Steven Prince improvised the list of additional illegal things Easy Andy had for sale after Travis buys the guns.” “Due to a garbage strike, much of the on-screen filth is real.” “Paul Schrader originally envisioned the character of Travis with Jeff Bridges in mind.” “Robert De Niro's on-and-off girlfriend in the 1970s, Diahnne Abbott, appears as the concession girl in the porno theater near the beginning of the film.” “The girl who Martin Scorsese studied to prepare for the role of Iris (played by Jodie Foster) also appears in the film as Iris' friend on the street.”Voir livre

This book has one purpose—to offer everyone the opportunity to become as wild about modern and contemporary art as I am. I am committed that your visits to modern and contemporary art exhibits become joyful, enriching experiences that you eagerly anticipate, avidly soak in and never get over. I say that the ability to appreciate art, including every type of art, is innate to all human beings. I have discovered that unlocking this natural love of art has much more to do with clearing out what's in the way than it does with accumulating information. When I look at my own love affair with the art of our time, I see clearly that when I am focused entirely on the art in front of me—setting aside judgment and cognitive thinking—that's when I find myself profoundly moved and deeply satisfied. I have come to the conclusion that the key to unlocking the magic of modern and contemporary art is in the ability to immerse oneself in the art and truly "experience" it. So, the obvious and most vital question becomes, "How does one learn to experience modern and contemporary art?" That is the work of this book. ~Robyn JamisonVoir livre
Music has long been recognized as a universal language, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers to evoke emotions, inspire creativity, and foster connections. Its profound ability to influence the human mind and body makes it a powerful tool in the realm of healing. Across centuries and civilizations, music has been intertwined with rituals, ceremonies, and therapeutic practices, underscoring its integral role in promoting well-being and harmony. At its core, the healing power of music lies in its ability to engage multiple dimensions of human experience. On a physical level, music stimulates neural pathways in the brain, influencing areas responsible for emotion, memory, and motor coordination. Research has shown that listening to or playing music can lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, while simultaneously boosting the production of dopamine, which promotes feelings of pleasure and relaxation. These biochemical responses highlight music’s potential to alleviate stress, reduce pain, and improve overall physiological health. Emotionally, music serves as a conduit for expression and connection. It has the unique ability to articulate feelings that words often cannot capture, offering solace during moments of grief, anxiety, or despair. For individuals dealing with mental health challenges, music therapy provides a safe and non-invasive avenue to explore and process emotions. Whether through the soothing strains of a classical melody or the energizing beats of a rhythmic tune, music can uplift spirits, encourage self-reflection, and foster resilience.Voir livre
